The CGame::CreateObject method accepts an optional parameter, init_ai, to initialize the created object's AI. This parameter is useful when spawning in infected and animals, since it enables the entities to move around and behave as they should, instead of standing still at their spawn position.

The CGame::CreateObjectEx method (which, I've been told, is preferred over CreateObject) does not accept an init_ai parameter, but it does accept iFlags, which is a bitmask of various flags. However, none of the ECE_ constants defined in 3_game\ce\centraleconomy.c correspond to a flag for initializing the object's AI.

Through the help of the DayZ Modders Discord (thank you, Jacob_Mango), I have learned that 2048 is the equivalent spawn flag for initializing the object's AI.

For your consideration, here is a very small patch to add a new ECE_INIT_AI constant for the undocumented flag:

Would it be possible to have this new constant added in the next DayZ update?
